Teilhard, You can download agrsm-20090502.tar.gz Support type needed or chipset: agrsm http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ There get the agrsm-howto.txt, through the compiling steps are only cogent to modems with 11c1:0260, 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f chips. They use the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz package. http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/agrsm-20090502.tar.gz get the above package and do the following: $ tar -zxvf agrsm-20090502.tar.gz $ cd agrsm-20090502 $ make module (if this fails try -> make all or -> make) $ su -c 'make install' $ su - passwd: # depmod -a # modprobe agrmodem # modprobe agrserial # sudo /etc/wvdial.conf should find the modem port /dev/ttyAGR and you might need to make a symbolic link # ln -s /dev/ttyAGR /dev/modem check the agrsm-howto.txt and the Yoursystem.txt for more guidance.
